Imagine going the month of February without any snow at all.

I'm also surprised at the lack of cold highs too (sub 30).

IMO the mode is better suited for a situation such as trying to find what item at your candy shop sells the most. In terms of snow, it may not be the best. For example, imagine a city has the following snowfall amounts in the last 10 years...21, 21, 54, 36, 41, 45, 48, 33, 28, 39. Those two dud years would make the most common total 21 inches, whereas the average is 36 inches. The real problem though is that when seasonal totals are reported to the decimal, it would be even less likely that two years would repeat the same exact number.

Without a doubt, crap weather right through May.

My point is simple, those who enjoy winter around here want cold temps and long periods of snow cover. Have we had that this season? Of course not, and so even if March is a rockin month that won't make this an A grade winter.

If you live in the city especially, this winter is pretty much toast. March can't make up for the whole season. That'd be like having a cool and wet JJA with terrible beach weather and then hoping September corrects it with 90's and sun.

If it weren't for that nice December event, I would only have a few inches...

That would be absolutely incredible.

I noticed this year is bad for coughs and fevers. I had a fever for five days going back around the New Year. Lot of people sick this year, and the hygiene is terrible. People need to learn to cover better, and wash their hands after being in public spaces.

Yeah, and not to mention it's an interesting name choice lol.

@MJO812 Why the name change? Snow88 was a classic.

If it keeps up, this winter will make last year look great.

Well he's certainly not jumping on these 10 day threats like he used to, and for that, I give him credit. That inner weenie is not an easy thing to contain.

I don't have the stats for my area in particular, but that is still BN. Late December '17 into January '18 had a decent stretch of cold, and as bad as last year was, January featured more arctic air. Next week we welcome February with the potential to see 50 or higher for several days.

The thing that amazes me is the lack of cold highs. January should "always" have some days where highs lock in the 20's, especially in NW Jersey. It's like the opposite of summer where we don't have crazy highs but warm lows.

I think it's because the winds were very strong like Cp mentioned, and they already had snow on the ground too.

You could always take a loan out on a used car for a smaller amount too if building credit is the goal. That's what I typically do, never bought new. As for brand, I love Ford. The Ecoboost is good from what I hear, but I've only had the 5.0 V8.

Yeah not a place I'd want to be under any circumstances.

Gotta be either Sierra Nevada or Cascades. Need a heck of a moisture feed for that. Way more than we get in an entire season over a three day period, insane.

Flagstaff has a very interesting climate and beautiful scenery. For that matter, I'm a fan of the western U.S. in general. My dilemma would be choosing what "landscape" to live near. I like Montana and being in foothills of the Rockies, yet at the same time the high elevation parts of Arizona and New Mexico are intriguing too.

Lol, yeah I agree. I'm just one of those technical people that likes it perfect. Just like the misconception that the solstice means that sunset is the earliest of the year.

Lmao, then I must add you to my ignore list. No but all jokes aside, I personally hate the meteorological standard. Our seasons are not determined by the calendar.

March 7. My area cashed in on some major rates. Best I've ever seen. January 2016 was an impressive storm here too.

And then two years later in March 2018 we got this:

I love the Christmas season and the music that goes with it.
